Introduction
About CD-Rs/CD-RWs
You can play back a CD-R/CD-RW only
when the disc is finalized.
• You can play back a CD-R/CD-RW which
has been recorded in the audio CD format and a CD-R/CD-RW to which audio
data (MP3/WMA) or a still picture data
(JPEG) file is recorded.
However, playback is impossible in some
cases due to the disc characteristics,
recording condition, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt or condensation on the
lens.
• Before using a CD-R/CD-RW, carefully
read the cautions regarding the disc.
• This product does not support playback
or CD text display of sound files such as
MP3s.
• To play back a CD-RW on this product,
erase all tracks if the CD-RW was
recorded in a format other than the audio
CD format. Using the CD-RW without
erasing all tracks may result in damage to
the speakers or other parts caused by
sudden loud volume.
Discs that cannot be played back
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (recorded in
VR format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo
CD, SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and
damage the speakers.
• Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary
shape (other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in
diameter) cannot be played back.
• JVC do not guarantee the operation and sound
quality of discs not authorized by CD-DA, which
is a CD specification.
Before playback, confirm that the disc complies
with this CD specification by checking the marks
and reading notes printed on the package.

A DVD VIDEO consists of "titles" and each title
may be divided into "chapters".
Title 1 Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files
• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may
take a long time depending on its recording conditions or properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If a character other than single byte English
characters is used in the file name of an MP3/
WMA/JPEG file, the track/file name will not be
displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the
MP3/WMA Control screen, and the order of files/
groups displayed on the JPEG Control screen
may be different from that of files/folders displayed on PC's monitor screen.
• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/
tracks are played back in alphabetical order, an
off-the-shelf MP3/WMA disc may be played back
in an order different from that indicated on the
label attached to the disc.
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file including a still
image may take a long time. The elapsed time is
not displayed until playing back starts. If playing
back starts, the elapsed time may not be displayed correctly.
• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128
kbps is recommended.
• This product is not compatible with MP3i or
MP3PRO.
• This product can play back a baseline JPEG file,
excluding monochromatic JPEG files.
• This product can play back JPEG data taken with a
digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design
Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a
function is applied such as the automatic rotation
function of a digital camera, data goes beyond the
DCF standard, so the image may not be displayed).
• If data has been processed, edited and restored
with PC image editing software, the data may
not be displayed.
• This product cannot play back animations such
as MOTION JPEG, or still pictures (TIFF etc.)
other than JPEG, and image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been
recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480
pixels, display may take a long time. An image
with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.
• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be
played back.
DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of "groups" and each
group may be divided into "tracks".
Some discs include a "bonus group" that requires
a password for playing ( page 30).
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 1Track 2
VCD/SVCD/CD
VCD, SVCD and CD consist of "tracks".
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 4Track 5
MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs
On an MP3/WMA [JPEG] disc, each still picture
(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks
[Files] are usually grouped into a folder. Folders
can also include other folders, creating hierarchical
folder layers.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of
a disc and manages folders by "groups".
Up to 99 groups
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1
[File 1]
Track 2
[File 2]
Up to 150 files
Group 3 Group 4 Group 5
This product can recognize up to 1 000 tracks
[files] in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up
to 150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups
in a disc. Since the unit ignores the tracks [files]
whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups
whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be
played back.
• If there is any type of files other than MP3/WMA
[JPEG] files in a disc, those tracks [files] are also
counted in the total file number.
5
Selecting the Color System
This product is compatible with PAL and NTSC
color systems.
In standby mode, select PAL or NTSC to match
your TV.
If the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch is switched
over when the power is on, turn off the power, and
then turn it on again.
Introduction
• Before playing back a disc, it is also required to
select the correct MONITOR TYPE in the
PICTURE menu according to the aspect ratio of
your TV ( page 38).
NOTE
• If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set
to "PAL", you can watch the playback pictures (the
disc will be reproduced using "PAL 60" format), but
the TV screen may rolls over upward and downward rapidly.
NOTE
• If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to
"NTSC", you can watch the playback pictures, but
the following symptoms may occur:
• The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and
be shown slightly shifted when highlighted.
• The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from
the original aspect ratio.
• The picture movement is not smooth.
